This Nightmare

A Spenserian Sonnet

Young mothers threaten to pull the trigger
And leave the press with a reason to write
Authority's pockets grow bigger
While the county's money goes tight

Blind and the homeless
Roam the streets day and night
Why do we put up with such madness?
Do something, to make things right!

Skeleton girls, with ill white skin
Went to the surgeon to make some deal
Parasites, diet pills, anything to make them thin
And throw up after every meal

Wake them up from this nightmare
Give them a fresh supply of air

You've done an excellent job of revealing the ugly underbelly of human society. This piece is so very true. Great work!

The society is full of this dilemma. The bad thing is worse turns to worst as time passes by. It seems that such is a contagious disease. I like this---masyadong malaman at makatotohanan.
